Cara Gardner Morey is filling the Vancouver Goldeneyes’ head-coaching vacancy while relinquishing her duties as the team’s general manager. The 47-year-old Gardner Morey decided she preferred a return to coaching after spending last year building the franchise in its inaugural PWHL season. She previously spent 14 seasons as head coach of Princeton’s women’s hockey team. The Goldeneyes struggled in being the PWHL’s first team eliminated from playoff contention, and led to the firing of coach Brian Idalski. Gardner Morey takes over a team that now features U.S. Olympic team defender Caroline Harvey, who was selected with the No. 1 pick in last month's draft.
